Have any of the engine builders here ever had a Ford specific rod Eagle rod fail?

I've heard of Big Block Chev Eagle rods having MAJOR problems, but other than needing some poor machining work rectified, I haven't heard of a Ford rod letting go....

I put Eagle rods into my 460 motor 4 years ago. Many times the tach has been to 6800, even an 8100 over-rev when some idiot (me) had the rev limiter pill sitting in the glovebox, instead of attached to the MSD..... Pulled the caps off, checked the bearings, checked the bolt stretch - perfect!!!

For all that though, I wouldn't dare to put them in my supercharged motor. Crower billets for that one...
